"Big Brother" maintained its hold on the top spot in Thursday's demographic ratings, finishing even with last week's eviction show in adults 18-49 and up slightly in viewers. It was close, though -- the season finale of
"Hell's Kitchen" was up for FOX and finished within a tenth of a point of "Big Brother" at 9 p.m.

CBS averaged 6.3 million viewers and a 4.0 rating/7 share in households for the night, beating FOX (5.4 million, 3.3/6) for the top spot. ABC (4.7 million, 3.0/5) came in third. NBC took fourth with 3.5 million viewers and a 2.4/4. The CW (772,000, 0.5/1) trailed.

FOX scored a demographic with a 2.2 rating among adults 18-49. CBS finished second with a 1.7. ABC's 1.0 edged NBC's 0.9 for third. The CW came in at 0.3.
